It is indicated that 2009, 2010, and 2014 released the most movies
per year.
Now that we know what years released the most movies, we
wanted to plot domestic and international sales yearly. We were
expecting the data to show us the same trends.
The data told a different story.
We investigated further by only looking into domestic sales.
Interestingly, 2009 was the highest-grossing year in domestic sales,
followed by 2013, even though we had the most movie releases in
2012.
When we took a look at international sales…
International Sales
The data showed 2014 and 2009 as the most lucrative year in
sales.
Noting the difference in movie release years versus the
highest-grossing years prompted us to look into sales per budget.
We decided to look more closely into domestic sales and budgets to
identify trends.
Domestic sales and budget
Our findings suggest that a specific budget range could be identified
as a strategic goal for the industry. While there were some outliers,
the data indicated that there is no need to exceed the budget to achieve
higher sales.
When we plotted the same data for international sales and budgets
similar conclusions were reached.
International Sales and
Budget
Next, we wanted to compare domestic sales to international sales.

Movies depend on their distribution. So, we wanted to identify our
largest distributor.

We concluded that Walt Disney Studios was our largest worldwide
distributor.

We wanted to know which year each distributor had reported the
highest sales. To narrow our search, we limited the dataset to only list
the top 10 sales.

Walt Disney and other distributors showed their most profitable year
in 2019.

As we tried to identify what could make a movie more profitable, we
decided to look at the top directors per distributor. We wanted to know
how many movies each director produced and who they used as their
distributor.
Top Directors per
Distributor
It was unsurprising to find Anthony Russo, who used Walt Disney
Studios as his distributor, directing most of the films. James Cameron
came in second, using Twenty Century Fox and Paramount Pictures to
distribute his films.

Summary
In our analysis, we found that the number of movies released in the
year will not directly indicate a high grossing year in movie sales both
internationally or domestically. We also concluded that staying within
the budget is the most financially beneficial practice since being over
budget did not correlate to higher grossing sales. The number of films a
director produces is as significant as who they use to distribute the
film. Walt Disney Studios has the farthest reach; therefore, it is an
excellent option for distribution.
It is important to consider that the data did not measure or account
for numerous factors beyond anyone’s control, like weather, social, or
economic factors that have impacted movie sales.
